Smith & Wesson Model 65-5 Stainless 4” HB VG Mfg. ca. 1995

Description:This Smith & Wesson Model 65 Stainless .357 Heavy Barrel 4 inch revolver is the -5 variant; and its serial number prefix is BUC. It was manufactured, according to Supica’s and Nahas’s serialization, in late 1994 or 1995. It has the traditional hammer nose firing pin and square butt grip frame with grooved back strap. We consider it to be in Very Good Condition. Its main detractions are vice-grip flattening to about 50 percent of the knurling on the end of the ejector rod; extensive but inconspicuous strap scratching to the right side plate; and screwdriver pecking adjacent to the forward side plate screw. The cylinder has a regular scuff line mid-cylinder on its exterior. Some of the photos exaggerate frame-side scuffing, but the cylinder streak shows. The casehardened-type finish to the hammer and trigger has about 20 percent dark toning, but this blends well with the finish and is not particularly conspicuous. The cylinder is a bit sticky to open. Mechanically, on double action the hammer travels another 3 to 5 degrees after the cylinder times into place, and the revolver has about 15 degrees travel after timing on single action. Double action pull is normal smoothness, with a crisp single action trigger pull of around 4 pounds. Original, issue Michaels grips have light to moderate scuffing on their high points that affects 20 percent or less of the grips’ finish.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony. GA Pay buyers are NOT charged until we confirm we have the item and are ready to ship it. The same thing is true for phone-in, fax-in, and mail-in payments. In this respect, and in several others, Guns America outshines all its competitors. This is the best firearms website there is, hands down.
